Today in history

Everyone knows it's Cinco de Mayo - especially on a week-end, there are always things going on, usually involving Mexican beer and Tequila. But also, on this day in history:
1961 - Alan Shepard: first American in space.
 1930 - Amy Johnson first woman ever to fly solo (from England to Australia).
 1904 - Boston Red Sox pitcher Cy Young throws first perfect game of modern era!
 1891 - Carnegie Hall in Midtown Manhattan opens its doors for the first time.
 How does all that compare with a good Margarita? Thought-provoking, but not as much fun.
